Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 Released, Supports Non-A5 Only

UPDATE:::> JAILBREAK FOR iPhone 4S and iPad 2 now available!
The genius @pod2g has released an untethered jaibreak for Apple iOS devices support non-A5 chip only (sorry iPad 2 and iPhone 4S owners).

So this include only:

  • Apple iPad 1
  • iPod touch 3G
  • iPod touch 4G
  • iPhone 4 CMDA
  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 3GS

So if you’re already running 5.0.1 then you can finally jailbreak your device anytime providing it is listed on top.

Steps for jailbreak:

  • The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1  If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW!  See the guides at places like iClarified.com if you don’t know how.  Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.
  • If you’re already at 5.0.1 with a tethered jailbreak, you have two choices: either run redsn0w 0.9.10 over your current jailbreak (deselect “Install Cydia” if you do that), or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam.  The patches are the same regardless of which you choose.
  • Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration.  If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup!  You will most likely get into a reboot cycle.  Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.
